Economics professor Mark J. Perry dissects a July 2011 Pew Research Center study, "In Two Years of Economic Recovery, Women Lost Jobs, Men Found Them." In the opening statement, Pew suggested the recovery favored men over women, and media jumped all over the story line. Digging deeper (see chart), Perry arrives at a different conclusion:
Despite the recent job gains for men since early 2010, the Great Recession has still had a disproportionately and significantly negative effect on men compared to women, and it's not even close: For every 100 jobs lost by women since January 2008, men have lost 192 jobs, so it's still very much of a "mancession," despite the recent "hecovery."
